Visas being denied to players and their families

all that just in the US, you mean!

So how is it that second-hand embarrassment is the single most powerful and weakening emotion one can feel from media?

Rest in peace, John Blanche

“The fear of being fat is the fear of joining an underclass that you have so readily dismissed, looked down on, looked past, or found yourself grateful not to be a part of. It is a fear of being seen as slothful, gluttonous, greedy, unambitious, unwanted, and, worst of all, unlovable. Fat has largely been weaponized by straight-size people — the very people it seems to hurt most deeply. And ultimately, thin people are terrified of being treated the way they have so often seen fat people treated or even the way they’ve treated fat people themselves. In that way, thinness isn’t just a matter of health or beauty or happiness. It is a cultural structure of power and dominance.”

Listen I get it but you CANNOT use "sensory nightmare" as an excuse to avoid essential things. You HAVE to find a way to make it work, such as finding effective alternatives. But you can't just avoid it.

yes it's reactionary, Grok is not a person, Grok has no agency. parents using nazi sources to parent their kids is not new and not a feature of AI or technology in general. Grok is also not capable of wooing your wife. passing off a love poem as yours to woo your wife does not mean the original author is cucking you.

What an adroit rebuttal of a point no one made.

my answer is not "like ChatGPT, Wikipedia and Google have issues too", though they do. my answer is "these issues are due to capitalism. all the other arguments against them, about the nature of humanity or historical tech use or love, are vibes. they are untethered from or directly opposed to facts".

For anyone still doubting my gift of foresight, this is another prophecy of mine that came true

baffling reply, you're the only one talking about "soul" here.

I will note that "everyday skills you used to have" such as: - essays: sparked a whole industry such as Cliffnotes to streamline the process as well as a cottage industry of paying other people to write your essays for yourself (as well as just, copying the essay from a friend that's a grade up from you or something like that). - writing a eulogy: there are thousands of canned eulogies around and I'd even expect funeral planners to have a few samples laying around. (And this is also a deeply Western thing? Plenty of countries don't do formalized eulogies and I'd expect someone with grief and having to plan a funeral would not appreciate the extra homework. Because that's fundamentally the reason most abled people would ask AI to write a eulogy, isn't it? Because it's homework they don't want to do but have to turn it in.) - writing a love note: same as above except even easier to plagiarize a random love poem you found off of Google. - parenting children: the oldest known parenting guide comes from 2nd century CE. People have been outsourcing pregnancy and child rearing to third parties for at least 1800 years now. - reading a bed time story: either the problem is TTS or that the person wasn't reading a printed book someone wrote for their children. It's really a non-issue either way. (Also a Western thing btw, not reading a bedtime story to your children is, as far as I can tell, the norm around the world. And considering the increasing amount of pressure people have in their day to day lives -- specially the women who are most often doing the child rearing -- I can see why they'd want to ditch or automate this step to get themselves more time for themselves for a change).

"i do things myself and you don't. i am fully autonomous and you are weak and dependent. my way is meaningful and yours is soulless. we have been doing it this way all by ourselves for 5000 years."

Hey so I hate to break it to you, but if thinking of themselves is what it takes to get these people to give a fuck, Im not going to shame them for it. Why would you shove an ally away like that? If what we need is numbers then sorry but, EVERYONE willing to help needs to be recieved with as equal a welcome as those who are doing it selflessly. Otherwise what you want isnt actual change, what you want is just public acknowledgement for being "good" or "better than"
